If you are a broadcast operator, teleport or uplink facility - you are continually faced with evaluating CAPEX expenditures. One area to gain efficiency and therefore reduce costs is through reduced bandwidth usage. This pertains particularly to video distribution, contribution and newsgathering applications.

Another tactic that can help make significant strides to reduce CAPEX is by designing efficient architectures; by using the best set of integrated equipment within a system, interoperability can be maximized.

The quest for better efficiency is actually is the driver behind many calls that our product engineers receive. “What do you have that can do this….?”

Years of solving for these challenges for our customers has led to advancements in our products that can reduce costs and maximize bandwidth. Our SMD 989 DVB-S2 Satellite Modulator is a reference class DVB-S, DVB-DSNG, & DVB-S2 modulator that is capable of single or multi-stream modulation of MPEG-2 transport streams. The SMD 989 utilizes many of our top customer-requested features such as:

Optional L-Band upconverter provides an IF or L-band output

Two-bay chassis allowing the SMD 989 to house one or two independent modulators

The support of multistream with Variable Coding and Modulation (VCM) allows each transport stream in the single RF carrier to have its own modulation parameters – guaranteeing the integrity of the content

ASI and IP inputs come standard allowing for flexibility to migrate to IP connectivity when ready at no additional cost
